| Mine: |
This is a very good kids movie. All the CGI animals are a bit much. I think this would work better animated. The voice characters are very good, funny, the setting was very well done also, perfect buildings and location. Dakota Fanning was a perfect fit as well as Emma Davis as the mother.
All that said it just does not have the emotional impact of the book. Adding a love interest for Fern does nothing to help the story. Changing the outcome of the fair was also a strange choice, done to make Wilbur cuter? A great book, a watchable movie.
